About The Poetic Life
Poetry seems to be everywhere these days – on TV and the Internet, used in advertisements on buses and in subway cars. There are readings and slams almost every night in some cities. And hundreds of universities across the US now offer creative writing programs. But for all the attention that poetry sometimes receives, it is still marginalized in significant ways, and many Americans view it with ambivalence or downrright contempt.

What does this mean for people who have devoted their lives to writing and promoting poetry? How do you find inspiration and guidance for your own poetic journey? And how do you navigate through the literary world, which can sometimes feel so very cold?

The Poetic Life explores all these questions, from the perspective of a practicing poet.

The Poetic Life is written by Elizabeth Lund.
